Shar2 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 To clear some space for my XB-35 build, I'm completing the three subs I've got in build. The first to be completed is the Bronco 1/350 HMS Vanguard. I realise the grey undersides are too light, but I couldn't find any good references and I didn't feel the instructions were very clear on the matter. So I claim artistic licence. I did use the WEM propulser and PE sets just to add a little something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shar2 Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 (edited) Nice job on that.Its a big 'un isn't it?You know that HMS Astute is now a must buy for you It is quite big, had to use my largest case for it. As for the Astute, that's defintely on the shopping list. mrvr6, I wish. Edited October 3, 2010 by Shar2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drookit Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Nice build. Just a word on the lower hull colour, as you thought it is too light as the boat appears to be the same colour all over when out of the water however somewhat weathered in appearance. All RN boats are challenging mind you as they all appear heavily weathered most of the time , except Astute at the mo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next question, whens Lusty going on the build table..... Dan Thanks Dan I'm on a bit of a run at the moment. The case is from Trumpeter, it's the second biggest one they do. I just added some green baize to the base. Lusty is on hold at the moment, as I've got a SHAR and Flying Wing to build first.

David J Ross Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Just checked at Hobbyeasy (where I ordered my Astute) and saw that it is due for release Friday 8th October. Can't wait to gat my hands on it. The next boat, Ambush, is due to roll out in December (fingers crossed). Astute on the shiplift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original Kit Builder Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Nice build. Just a word on the lower hull colour, as you thought it is too light as the boat appears to be the same colour all over when out of the water however somewhat weathered in appearance. All RN boats are challenging mind you as they all appear heavily weathered most of the time , except Astute at the mo. The only pic I've ever seen of Vanguard out of the water is a colour print, which clearly shows the grey underside, (which I always thought was black). I think it's an oldish photo' though, as it was taken before the slabs were fitted to the sides. Does anyone know what they are, by the way?

I believe they are for extra protection around the missile tube section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
